    By studying how the church in Acts won so many souls the church today can learn how to be faithful and fruitful in our mission.

    * The primary task of the church must be to carry on the work that Christ began. * His work = Luke 19:10 * Of all the "work" the church does, evangelism (reaching the world with the gospel) is the only duty of the church that cannot be better done in heaven! * The church in Acts understood their ...read more

    This is the 5th of our series on Action in Acts. We look at the charges against Peter, how he did not seek to justify himself but share what God was doing, and how we are called to focus on what is truly important.

    Action – Follow the right voice (5:17-42) Have you noticed how there seems to be people making stands for all sorts of things in life? There are thousands of causes, and there are people fighting for all sorts of things. Even within the “church” community, there are people with ...read more

    First Christmas Risk-Takers

    Risk taking at times needs to be bold and calculated. Other times require spontaneity. Risk taking is taking on something that causes fear and has the possibility of failure. Risk taking is an essential ingredient in ministry in the Kingdom of God. Most B

    Opening illustration: Three pastors have been called Monday to report to prison in Shiraz, a city in southwestern Iran, within the next 30 days in what is estimated to be an act of religious persecution.

    There are some great benefits of being part of a home group. I hope these inspire you to join one.

    THE BENEFITS OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CELL GROUP Acts 5:42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.

    Throughout the ages Jesus’ church has been flexible and adaptive in its tactics and methods but there are some crossovers which always seem to be present when the church is effectively winning the lost.

    Welcome and Call to Worship Good morning. We are so honored that you have chosen to worship with us today. We are in our fourth week of a sermon series from the book of Acts titled “Bridges and Ditches” and we are looking at ways to build bridges and jump ditches in order to bring the ...read more

    Persecuted? Rejoice And Be Glad!!!

     | 3,981 views

    Why would a person who hungers and thirsts for righteousness, a person who is merciful and has a pure heart, why would a person who is a peacemaker be persecuted? Because the evil one hates the Righteous One!

    Persecuted? Rejoice and Be Glad! Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:6-8 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they ...read more

    An Outline Of Acts 5:17-42

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 6, 2021
     | 3,005 views

    The apostles were taken into custody another time and stood trial the next day. Compare what Peter said, and what Gamaliel said, as responses to the charges! This outline is revised from one I used in preaching a miniseries on Acts several years ago.

    Introduction: the apostles were healing people, through the power of God, so much that even people from outside Jerusalem were bringing their sick folks there for healing. Verses 12-16 give a brief summary of these activities. All of this no doubt led to the high priest and others taking action to ...read more

    What is coming and how much of it will you be here for? Is there a way to not be here for it? There is. But you must be counted worthy.

    We live in very sobering times. We are in the end part of the end times, wondering when the antichrist will appear. Already the spirit of antichrist is prevalent in the world.

    Persecution - Are You Ready For It?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 9, 2021
     | 2,994 views

    We in America do not have any real experience with religious persecution like we find in other countries. However, over the past decades we have seen reverence for the name of Jesus become mockery. What will we do when proclaiming Jesus becomes outlawed?

    Persecution - Are You Ready For It? Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Psalm 1:1-2 “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

    Jesus Delivers His Church

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 28, 2021
     | 3,967 views

    In his church, the Lord Jesus is still doing the good work that He has begun, and He is doing it unstoppably.

    Beloved in Christ, I’d be worried if the church was a human effort. If it was up to us alone to defend the church, maintain her unity, or increase her numbers, we’d have reason to be concerned. For the church would certainly follow the path of so many man-made clubs and societies—for a while strong ...read more

    Proposition: In this passage the apostles tell us "We must obey God rather than men." How do we know that we are obeying God? 1. Saturating our lives with His Word 2. Individual and corporate prayer 3. Living in the flow of the Holy Spirit
